Chapter 193: 162 is the future daughter-in-law (2 updates)_1

"Lu Han, are you trying to ditch me after crossing the bridge?" Long Aotian strode over, jokingly calling out to Lu Han’s hurried footsteps.

Hearing Long Aotian’s voice behind him, Lu Han then remembered about the other person.

"Sorry about that, Brother Long," Lu Han said, adjusting his emotions before turning to face Long Aotian.

As Lu Han turned around carrying Tang Su, Long Aotian expected to see a beauty, but what he saw was a pitiful little thing.

Tang Su’s hair was a mess because Wen Jie had viciously grabbed it, and to make matters worse, there were a lot of sunflower seed shells in it. Below that was a face that was supposed to be fair and rosy, but now it was so swollen that her original features were barely recognizable.

Seeing the woman he cared about being humiliated by these audacious people, Long Aotian could understand why Lu Han might feel like killing someone at that moment.

After all, he had been through it himself; when his beloved treasure, whom he had held in the palm of his hand and pampered, was beyond saving, he wanted to kill all the incompetent doctors in the world to bury alongside his girl.

Without waiting for Lu Han to speak, "You’d better go now, I’ll have Long Yi take you."

"I’ll handle everything on this end according to your requests," Long Aotian continued.

"Right, I’ll visit you another day to express my gratitude," Lu Han replied.

"Got it, now go. When this girl gets better, bring her to Longmen, have dinner with the old man and Yanyan to make up for the regret caused by today’s absence."

"Right."

Lu Han nodded in agreement.

If it hadn’t been for Chen Guang impulsively taking Tang Su away, Lu Han would have been having lunch with Bai Dingkai instead of accompanying the elder Mr. Long, who had come back to the country with his granddaughter today.

But now, with Tang Su in this state, he couldn’t even care about work, let alone the lunch appointment, which was naturally canceled.

Long Yi drove as Lu Han sat in the backseat, holding Tang Su all the way without complaining of tired arms or fatigue.

When Long Yi asked where to go, Lu Han named Shengmao Hospital.

Shengmao Hospital was one of the properties owned by the Lu Family. Knowing Lu Han’s desire to be a doctor, Lu Maoyan had founded this private hospital.

It was supposed to be managed by Lu Han, but he was reluctant, preferring to work in a public hospital as a doctor, to volunteer in the countryside, and to provide medical support in remote areas. Lu Maoyan had no choice.

So he temporarily hired someone to manage it, and the person turned out to be extraordinarily capable, developing the private hospital greatly within just two years, with its headquarters in Beijing.

There were branches in other cities too, including one in Hua City.

It was a hospital of the Lu Family, but no one knew that Lu Han was the young master of this hospital.

A former colleague who had volunteered in the countryside with Lu Han had switched to this private hospital. Since they had a good relationship, and Lu Han thought the person was of good character but had high household expenses, he recommended this hospital for the colleague’s career move.

The person was named Xun Yan.

On the way there, Lu Han had already called Xun Yan, who was originally a surgeon. Xun Yan had assured Lu Han to bring the patient over and that everything would be arranged on his end.

"Okay, thank you."

The service at the private hospital was naturally good; the only downside was that the fees were quite expensive for ordinary folks.

But the high fees had their reasons.

Just the cost of personnel alone sets private hospitals apart from public ones.

In public hospitals, a nurse might have to deal with an entire floor of patients, whereas in a private hospital, a nurse would take care of at most three patients.

If patients and their families require one-on-one care, private hospitals can also provide that, with charges according to one-on-one care standards.

Moreover, unlike in public hospitals where one might have to wait a long time for an appointment, here you can go in according to your ticket time.

If you miss your call, it’s not an issue; while you might lose your spot in a public hospital, in a private hospital they will promptly and thoroughly help you reschedule.

You pay more, and in return, you receive higher quality services.

If you file a complaint, they take it very seriously.

Lu Han didn’t bring Tang Su here for these services, but because Huanan Hospital was busy and full of gossip, he didn’t want to hear any rumors.

In his eyes, the ultimate goal of both public and private hospitals was the same: to serve patients. The only difference was the target audience.

Long Yi soon delivered the two to Shengmao Hospital. When Lu Han got out of the car carrying Tang Su, he told Long Yi not to wait and to go back to Longmen.

He still had to join Long Aotian in fetching their elder and the young lady, and he couldn’t delay.

"Alright, Mr. Lu, then I’ll take my leave,"

"Okay."

Seeing Lu Han, Xun Yan, who had been waiting there for a while, brought over a wheelchair. After Lu Han saw off the driver, Xun Yan said, "Put her down."

"Okay."

Lu Han placed Tang Su in the wheelchair and walked inside with Xun Yan, telling him about Tang Su’s condition as they went.

"Hmm, if you’re worried, after I’ve treated her external injuries, we can start an IV to help dilute the medication in her body, so it can be expelled more quickly."

"Hmm-hmm, I’ll follow your arrangements." Since Lu Han had entrusted Xun Yan to treat Tang Su, he naturally trusted him.

He would do as advised.

"Girlfriend, eh? Knowing you for so long, I’ve never seen you care so much about any woman."

"Yes, my future daughter-in-law," Lu Han admitted candidly.

"The unattainable flower has finally been picked by the young lady?"

Lu Han pursed his lips and said nothing, always waiting for her to pick it, and he was very happy she wanted to.

In reality, he wasn’t some unattainable flower, just that among thousands of rivers, he took only one scoop to drink.

"Relax, it’s nothing serious."

"Hmm."

Xun Yan conducted a thorough checkup, and except for the alarming swelling on her face, a bit of cooling ointment could reduce the inflammation and relieve the pain. Luckily, their hospital pharmacy had recently stocked a new batch of ointment that was quite effective, and Xun Yan prescribed one.

The price wasn’t cheap, but before prescribing, he consulted Lu Han who had heard that once applied, the ointment could reduce swelling in an hour or two, making it one of the fastest-acting anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ointments available at the time.

There might be even better medicines in the future; after all, technology is advancing, society is progressing, and the same goes for medicine.

If someone told him in the future that giving birth wouldn’t have to be so painful for women, he would believe it too.

It used to be difficult for children to take medicine because it tasted so bitter and unpleasant. Children are very straightforward – they accept what they like and outright reject what they don’t.

They’re young, not foolish; who would willingly take such nasty-tasting medicine?

Telling them that the medicine would cure their illness is one thing, but they are after all children, who may not understand quite yet.

Nowadays, most cold medicines aren’t so bitter, and aside from some with really strange flavors, children, when sick, will usually take their medicine if coaxed a bit.

Lu Han had him go ahead with the prescription.

"Okay." Xun Yan prescribed the ointment, which could also be applied to the grazed area on the scalp.

"The rest doesn’t look too serious. Check the inside of the body yourself later on, then I’ll have a nurse come in to help your future daughter-in-law with the IV."

"Alright, thank you."

While Tang Su was on the IV, Lu Han applied the ointment for her.

Bai Dingxian, who was worried, made several calls, which went unanswered on Lu Han’s phone. As Lu Han picked up his phone to check the time, Bai Dingxian’s call came through, and he answered.

"Did you find Tang Su?" Bai Dingxian asked.

"Mhm, found her."

"Is she okay?"

"Nothing serious," Lu Han said while gently stroking Tang Su’s hand.

"Well, that’s good. Because of Tang Su, you owe Long Aotian a huge favor; how do you plan to repay it?"

"No need to repay, this time he’s repaying me a favor, and he’s more than happy."

"..."

Bai Dingxian was stunned. One of the reasons he admired Lu Han wasn’t just for Lu Han’s abilities and charisma, but also his luck.

You see how good he is at picking his rebirth – into the belly of the most beloved aunt of several generations of the Bai Family, instantly making him and his mother the most important people in the Bai Family.

And his uncle by marriage, commanding respect wherever he went, only dotes on his wife while being indifferent to his son.

Yet Lu Han’s own father doted not only on his wife but also on Lu Han, his son.

But Lu Han himself never cared for his uncle’s paternal love.

Truly not knowing one’s blessings. That’s Lu Maoyan after all. If it weren’t for Lu Maoyan being his uncle, that would definitely be someone he couldn’t reach in his lifetime.

Forget it, Lu Han will never understand the feelings of those of us who have nothing.

"Where are you? I’ll come to see Tang Su."

"No need, we are on an IV drip. If you want to come over, wait until after work and visit her at our house."

"Okay, I can also help you deal with the pressure here at the hospital."

"No need to handle anything; let them do what they want," Lu Han said with an air of discontent.

"..."

Bai Dingxian knew Lu Han was upset because of Tang Su. He quietly hung up the phone, thinking it was good to let him cool down alone for a while.
